I posted this on the How High group, but it's relevant here as well.
Am I wrong, or did someone from Microsoft allegedly support Barksdale's contention about the June 1995 meeting in a deposition?

Microsoft had better refute that June 1995 meeting:

ipmag.com

Relevant quote #1 :

One of the most provocative charges -- which, if proven, would constitute an automatic violation of the federal antitrust laws, asserts that Microsoft executives met in June 1995 with executives of Netscape, the early leader in the browser market, and offered to divide up the market.

and a few paragraphs later:

Chief among the documents is a May 31, 1995, memo from Gates to Paul Maritz, Microsoft's vice president in charge of its platforms group. He told Maritz, "I think there is a very powerful deal of some kind we can do with Netscape." Gates suggested Microsoft offer a 24-month agreement to help Netscape with its server business if it agreed to stay out of the browser business in Microsoft's Windows operating arena. "I would really like to see something like this happen!!" Gates wrote.

I'm a little suspicious because they don't directly quote Gates' suggestion in the email. But, in the words of an old Microsoft shill on the OS/2 newsgroups, This Does Not Bode Well.
